Can you guys help me out and tell me what the torque spec is for the front wheel bearing on an 03 Ram 2500?

Tighten axle nut to 132 ft-lbs/179 Nm, rotate axle 5 to 10 times to seat hub bearings, tighten axle nut
to 263 ft-lbs/356 Nm. Align axle nut to next forward cotter pin hole and install cotter pin.

Haha, I have a 250 ft lb torque wrench that I have maxed out before so not worried about that.  From what I've read around 180 seems to be the consensus but I trust the guys on DOF :punk:

Thanks, I knew it was on here somewhere.  I gotta say......the search function stinks.  I always try it and it doesn't work most of the time.  Thanks for the link, figures I'll have to borrow a torque wrench!

Thanks Jo, maybe I can do that work.  Most of my web browing is done on my phone.
